February 25, 2001 THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR MIND: If you'd like to break
into what might best be termed the "lower end" of journalism,
NakedNews.com might just be for you. The Toronto-based website is
looking for newscasters who would be willing deliver the news on camera
in the nude. The work is currently being done by four women - Victoria,
Carmen, Diane and Holly - but more are needed, due to popular demand.
All that is required of candidates is that they be physically attractive
and able to speak clearly. NOW HE'S KING OF THE PRISON COMMISSARY: Neil Gray must have
been happy to find out that he won a Nebraska state lottery jackpot
of $102,000. He probably needed cheering up. I'M RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE WITH YOU: A Hong Kong man, who is
married, refused his girlfriend's plea that he leave his wife for her.
She responded by barraging him with 1,000 nuisance phone calls a day for
the next three years. She finally showed up at his home on New Year's
Day. OOOOOH, THEY'RE SO BEAUTI ... ARGHHH! Tourists on a whale
watch in the ocean off Hawaii got a much better view of one of the
magnificent behemoths than they had expected. YEP, I'M MATTHEW, THAT'S ME ALL RIGHT, UH-HUH: Darrell Felton,
20, was locked up in the Greene County jail in Springfield, Mo., on a
parole violation, and found that his 17-year-old brother, Matthew, was
also in residence there on an unrelated matter. Darrell saw this as a
situation he could use to his advantage. When Matthew's friends came and
bailed him out, Darrell walked out instead. It is not known if the
friends were in on the scam, but they did come back later to tell the
cops that they had let the wrong man go, and to ask if they would then
release the right man.
